While my talented apprentice, Emily, writes about the experience of doing her first solo hive check, here is a short film that was created by Adrian Bautista, Martha Glenn, and Brooke Tascona from footage taken during the Week 9 Hive check.

It looks fantastic, I don't sound like a complete goober, and it got picked up by Food, Inc. Even better, Kazumi, the other beekeeper featured in the video, is partnered with Phil, a student from my first ever Beekeeping 101 class at the Brooklyn Brainery! I'm totally proud of y'all!

This short documentary explores the growing urban beekeeping movement in New York City and focuses on the stories of Tim O'Neal, creator of the Borough Bees blog, and Kazumi Terada, a novice beekeeper.

Adrian Bautista, Martha Glenn, and Brooke Tascona made this documentary for the Design and Technology: Sound and Vision course at Parsons New School for Art and Design during the summer semester 2011.
